@MAD GRUMPYMAN Yes, exactly my feeling. Unfortunately, most of my favorite music may not have been recorded or mastered very well and can get shrill at volume. Just when I think I need to move on, a good recording convinces me otherwise. I still may move on to something with a slightly more forgiving tweeter - or go all in on Magnepan! Happy New Year.

They are not overpriced for what you get. There are much more expensive speakers out there. But of course some of the price goes into the finish and furniture of it. Nobody forces anyone to buy them. They have the 700 and 600 series for people who don't want to spend so much but still get some of the same sound signature. I find the tweeter a bit hard for my liking, but in general they sound fenomenally.
